  1. I have two different HF AD Helmets - the cheapest one purchased 8 years ago and the Flame one w/replaceable battery. Both work well. I let anyone who wants to watch use either the standard Jackson helmet I purchased when taking classes at the local Vo-Tech or the least expensive HF AD. I of course use the better one w/battery - but then I am usually a lot closer to the work. I always lay the helmets out in the sun for a few minutes before using - don't think it makes a diff, but never had a failure either...
  2. All ZX Turbos came w/R200's - only NA's came w/R180's guys...
  3. The purpose of running the cooler AHEAD of the radiator exchanger is to lower the temp of the fluid BEFORE hitting the exchanger. Transmissions do not like cold fluid either - they like it heated, so having the cooler ahead of the exchanger allows the exchanger to help heat the fluid to operating temperature. The cooled tranny fluid will not put as much load on the cooling system, thereby increasing IT'S efficiency.
  4. ??????? You are definitely not phrasing your question properly, because I don't know what you are trying to ask. Remember that part of that 60 degrees is taken up by the maximum advance you run. If you are asking what the maximum advance you can use - it depends on what engine and its' setup you are talking about. More info needed.
  5. MS wants at least 60 degrees to allow for processing time. The more magnets - the more accurate your timing...
  6. U joints were replaced where? Halfshafts or Driveshaft? You could have an out of balance driveshaft, tho if it's worse on decel it sounds like a U joint...
  7. According to the JTR swap manual, autox'rs use the cast iron ones for better braking -0 cast iron is considered an upgrade on 510's which came stock w/aluminum drums.
  8. You could get close w/a .66:1 reduction drive on the T5 tranny/speedometer output and set the Speedo to read KPH (which would use all 3 digits). You would be a bit off, but with a bit taller tire you'd be close. YOu'd be the diff between .62 (actual KPH/MPH reduction and the .66 that the actual reduction gearing has that JTR offers.
  9. How much are they charging you to repair it?
  10. Seafoam in the oil. You may want to do the top end treatment too.
  11. Also, switching to C25 will help. CO2 is hotter than an argon/CO2 mix...
  12. Have you put some clean oil through it before trying to turn it?
  13. Once again - are you sure you don't have hydraulic lifters?
  14. You might want to say where you are located. I am assuming that the $50 driveshaft offer was too steep for you, so I'm afraid I can't help either...
  15. I just got through replacing half my firewall and battery tray/inner fender area on my 280ZXT. I had to fab parts because the donor car I got mine from was a 'bit' rusty too. I would suggest getting a bead roller, as I had to use mine to make the stiffening beads in some of the panel portions that I had to fab.
  16. If you have the '82/83 dizzy that's all you need.
  17. The 1st gear ratio in the T5 is ~3.06 - just about like the 1st gear in a 4L60/E or TH700R4, and many lament that short/steep gearing. Unless you want to run a much hotter/higher rpm cam in the turbo than stock, you would probably be better off with a 3.54 rear gear - like stock on the turbos. Turbos like something to work against to build boost. A 3.90 would be totally wrong for a turbo with the size wheels we are normally able to run. Now if you tub the rear and make room for taller tires...
  18. I've got one w/15K on it. Had to replace the original when at a friends whose 7 yr old daughter left her bike behind my ZXT and backed over it. PM me if interested. Actually looking for a Walbro for my MS project w/550cc injectors - which one do you have?
  19. I have one w/an O2 sensor w/less than 10K on it. Can sandblast it or as is. $25 + Shipping from 30066
